Clann ZuBlack Coats & Bandages (G7 Welcoming Committee)By: Jeb BraninA dark and haunting album that somehow taps into the vibe of goth rock but deftly ascends (maybe even transcends) the limitations of the genre. This album has enough progressive and innovative ideas that it is going to appeal to fans of everything from the DOG FACED HERMANS to 90s alternative (before "alternative" degenerated into anything but the alternative). It's a challenging listen, to be sure, but one that is worth the investment of energy and intellect.
